Connected and Autonomous POD on-Road Implementation (CAPRI)
An AECOM-led consortium has secured more than £4.2 million of funding from Innovate UK and the Centre for Connected & Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) to deliver a pilot scheme that could pave the way for the use of connected and autonomous vehicles to move people around airports, hospitals, business parks, shopping and tourist centers. The pilot project includes the design, development and testing of new autonomous and connected pods on-demand (PODs), culminating in on-road... [Lire la suite]

Pathway to Driverless Cars: Proposals to support advanced driver assistance systems and automated vehicle technologies
Automated vehicle technology will profoundly change the way we travel, making road transport safer, smoother, and smarter. We are on the pathway to driverless cars, where fully automated vehicles will transport people and goods to their destination without any need for a driver. The Government wants to secure the UK’s position at the forefront of this change for the development, construction, and use of automated... [Lire la suite]

UK’s FiveAI gets $35M to build a taxi service powered by its own self-driving car platform
The race is on for autonomous vehicle technology, and now a startup out of the U.K. is the latest to throw its hat into the ring to help build it. Cambridge-based FiveAI — a partner in the U.K.’s StreetWise self-driving project — has raised £14 million ($18 million) and £12.8 million ($17 million) in two tranches to fill out its plans for a two-part business in the world of self-driving services. First, FiveAI is building its own autonomous... [Lire la suite]

Telematics trends in the UK
Usage of telematics is growing quickly in the UK, targeting young drivers and addressing some of the issues created by the new EU gender directive.
What is telematics insurance?
Telematics insurance requires the installation of a device on the vehicle, commonly called a “Black Box”. This device communicates with on board instruments to monitor a series of parameters like hours of the day when the vehicle is driven, the distance driven, they type of roads where the car is driven and the speed of the...

Driverless cars could turn the UK into Europe’s leader in autos – but only if we de-regulate first
A fake suburb in Florida, complete with sidewalks, shops and parents out with their children. Huge chunks of highway given over to testing new types of machine. Tweaks to the law to get rid of side mirrors, and to allow drivers to watch a film while they are out for a spin in their new car.
It may sound like the stuff of sci-fi. But in fact, these are all measures that individual American states have taken in the last few... [Lire la suite]

A start-up born out of Stanford just entered the driverless car race with a radical approach
Drive.ai, a start-up born out of Stanford's artificial intelligence lab, has officially entered the driverless car arms race.
But Drive.ai has no interest in building an actual, self-driving car. Rather, as co-founder and president Carol Reiley told Business Insider, the start-up plans to sell "the brains of the car."
That car brain comes in the form of sensors, LiDAR, and Radar like many other companies are using, but with one... [Lire la suite]

Britain to Test Driverless Cars on Motorways Next Year
With no legal barriers, autonomous vehicles will be hitting “some local roads.”
Britain said it will begin trialing driverless cars on motorways for the first time in 2017, as it moves toward its goal of allowing autonomous cars to take to the streets by 2020.
The government said last year there were no legal barriers to the technology being tested and gave the go-ahead for vehicle trials to start on some local roads.
Finance minister George Osborne will announce plans on... [Lire la suite]

The great driverless car race: Where will the UK place?
Updated 11 July 2016: The British government has launched a consultation to explore how autonomous vehicles can be insured, as well as hashing out rules of the road for self-driving cars and existing regulations that may hold back adoption.
The proposals include changes to insurance laws so that “motorists who have handed control to their self-driving cars can be insured properly”. It also suggests amendments to the Highway Code along with redrafting regulations... [Lire la suite]
